My name is Emmanuel and today i will like to share with you some facts to consider when starting a cooking gas retail business. If you have been looking to start a business of your own, a cooking gas retail business might just be the best option for you. It involves buying huge quantities of cooking gas, storing it in tanks, and selling it to individuals for domestic purposes such as cooking. But before starting a cooking gas retail business, it is important to learn about the business. Some of the things to know about the business are:

1 How is cooking gas measured?
2 Where do you buy cooking gas from?
3 How do you handle gas cylinders?
4 How do you refill a customer’s gas cylinder?
5 What are the various sizes of cooking gas cylinders?

1) How is cooking gas measured: Cooking gas can be measured in litres, kilogrammes and tonnes. 1 kilogramme is equivalent to 1.75 litres and 1 metric tonne is equivalent to 1000 kilogrammes. So 1 metric tone is equivalent to 1,750 litres.

2) Where do you buy cooking gas from: If you plan to go into the cooking gas retail business, it is necessary to know the best source or sources to get your gas from. NAVGAS is currently the biggest offtaker (gas seller) in Nigeria, another very reliable offtaker is NIPCO and they are both located at Apapa in Lagos state.

3) How do you handle gas cylinders:
– Always place gas cylinders in a vertical position, unless stated otherwise by the manufacturer.
– Restrain cylinders securely to prevent them from falling over.
– Always ensure that the cylinder valves are tightly closed.
– Ensure that the valve is protected by a valve cap to prevent any damage if the cylinder is dropped.
– When loading or unloading the cylinders, never drag, drop or roll the cylinder as these can cause major physical damages to the cylinders.
– Always ensure that the cylinders are kept in a well ventilated warehouse with regards to the manufacturer's ambient temperature standard.
– Always ensure that the cylinders are placed on wooden pallet and not on a bare floor.
– Prevent direct physical contact among cylinders in storage.

4) How do you refill a customer's gas cylinder: There are two basic ways gas cylinders can be filled depending on the nature of the filling system i.e automatic or pneumatic filling system. For automatic dispensing system, the exact amount or quantity of (kg or litres) is pressed on the dispenser while the refilling nozzle is already inserted in the cylinder. In this way, the system automatically stops dispensing once the pre-determined amount of gas is reached. For the pneumatic dispensing system, the cylinder is place on a digital scale and the scale is adjusted to its zero limit. Then, the nozzle of the filling system is fitted to the value of the cylinder and the system is stopped as soon as the pre-determined amount of gas is reached.

5) What are the various sizes of cooking gas cylinders: Cooking gas cylinders come in different shapes, colors and sizes. The various sizes are 3kg, 5kg, 6kg, 12.5kg, 25kg and 50kg. Also some intermediate sizes could be manufactured based on specific orders.

I think @Bandeco is right with that point.. I submitted my dad's personal account and his company's account too and when I picked up my pp along with all my documents, there was traces of black biro on my dad's personal account, I think the v.o was trying to calculate the transactions on the account but the company's soa was too neat- it was as if nobody touched it.. so from my own perspective, I think submitting your sponsors personal soa is better than submitting only his company's soa, you can just use Company's soa as back up

Bandeco:
Yeah you are right... That is why I stated that he has no much time left to build account now to submit since his program starts in September. Except he defers his program to winter ..
Your second point too is valid and I also stated he will have a hard job to do to convince the vo that the person will make the funds available for him.. It's hard but possible. Another point is that the said non-relative has a company account. We all know submitting company account is kinda risky especially when the person is not the sole signatory to the account. The Vo. s hardly believe that someone can commit such huge funds to fund a non-relative education from a company's account. To them it doesn't make sense that someone will impede the operation of a business just to fund a persons in Canada. More so, when the applicant is not a staff of the company and the applicant training in Canada won't be a long-term benefit to the company .. A friend of mine used a company's account two years ago and she was denied base on the reason I stated above. She reapplied with the persons personal account and her application was granted.

Bandeco:
PLEASE CAN YOU GIVE MORE DETAILS CONCERNING APPLYING WITH A SPONSOR PERSONAL ACCOUNT INSTEAD OF BUSINNESS ACCOUNT
